Lost Odyssey U.S. Pre-Orders Have Begun

The quest for truth and morality begins Feb. 12
when “Lost Odyssey” launches in the U.S. To help gamers prepare for their
journey, Microsoft today announced that pre-orders for the highly anticipated
title have begun, offering bonus unlockable content only available only through
the pre-order program. Fans can now purchase “Lost Odyssey” pre-order cards at
participating retailers.

As a special offer attached only to pre-orders,
each purchase includes a download code for an additional mission and unlockable
weapon. Pre-order cards will include this code, redeemable on Xbox LIVE
Marketplace after the game releases. The download will be available to the
general public later this spring, but the “Lost Odyssey” pre-order program is
the only way to unlock this extra content on day one.

Additionally, Dec. 6 marked the game’s Japan
launch to great fanfare and critical acclaim. Esteemed Japanese gaming outlet
Famitsu awarded the title a review score of 37 out of 40, as RPG fans lined up
outside retailers to purchase the next creation from the minds that brought
“Blue Dragon” and “Final Fantasy” to life.

From famed game designer Hironobu Sakaguchi of
Mistwalker game studio and feelPlus Inc., and exclusively for the Xbox 360,
“Lost Odyssey” is a next-gen RPG that takes gamers through multiple lifetimes in
search of truth and justice. It is the story of Kaim, an immortal character who
has lived more than 1,000 years and doesn’t remember his past and doesn’t know
where his future lies.
